BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common epithelial tumor. Its incidence increases with increasing age. Current treatments for BCC's include the surgical excision of the tumor together with a margin of normal tissue and, when surgery is not feasible or desirable,
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. Almost 180,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2007 and over 40,000 women

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel methods for the treatment of cancer. More specifically, the present invention relates to the inhibition of the hedgehog signaling pathway by the direct binding of a cyclopamine derivative to protein
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The hedgehog signaling pathway is essential for numerous processes during embryonic development. Members of the hedgehog family of secreted proteins control cell proliferation, differentiation and tissue patterning. The pathway was first deciphered in the fruit fly
